Thanks for an interesting read! I can relate to this.

Putting effort into tools to increase diagnostics comprehension pays off in more quickly solving bugs. However, prior to AI, building specialized tools (or even trying to find and learn existing ones) introduced a threshold.

I did exactly what you stated:

> “Without AI support, I would have just muddled through with my existing tools, lacking the time or focus to build a debug UI.“

I once took a greater initiative to make my debugging more manageable instead of struggling with the limitations of existing default tools.

In my case PHP/DB/AJAX interaction opened for hard to trace bugs; the initial challenge was to first target the right level for diagnostics. This was pre-AI, and I wrote my own diagnostics tool. It worked. Unfortunately the need wasn't in proportion to the effort I spent building the tool as my project ceased to be relevant.

Now my environment is Node JS and database (backend), and JS (front-end) as well as the server infra. I had AI create node js server accessible by websocket, unifying diagnostics from all layers. Then a simple web UI with coloring and ability to filter by source etc. Then layer-specific tools to allow layers to send diagnostics. Even my local Nvim diagnostics are sent there.

This was a breeze to put together and allows me to remain focus on my main goal. A bonus part is I actually do learn along the way, as the iterative AI process sparks curiosity about the system. Often I find myself in joyous exploration with the AI.

Does it, in reality? With trials and layers being life destructibly expensive?
So interestingly, many folks I've talked to had a reaction of "so jj is just a frontend to git, big whoop. There are hundreds of them, my favorite is X". That's an understandable reaction.

But jj is more than that, and you couldn't implement it as a git wrapper. I think the core innovation is that rebases are so fast they are essentially free, which opens up amazing potential.

But so far I haven't found a way to really convey the full weight of this without a long explanation, because people are so used to thinking in git, it takes a long time to go beyond "so rebase -i will be faster, then? But it's not slow, is it?"

It's funny, that git is now in the position that subversion was in almost two decades ago: People were so used to svn and felt productive with it, it was hard to convey why free branches and a distributed data model are a gamechanger, and how much svn limited their thinking. But as a git user you had certainty that you were right, and that your tool is superior.

Now, people are so used to git, in an eerily similar way. But ask most git users, "how would you move a specific change from your branch to another?" I have yet to receive a confident answer and workflow to this (they do exist ofc), the common reaction I get is that this isn't something they'd ever need anyways.

I'm curious how this will look in a few years :)
Yeah I've sat on an exploration drill rig and I have a vague grasp of the physics and chemistry. That is why I'm a little sceptical - what exactly would the process be for identifying a hydrogen resource?

We're dealing with a light gas that would probably escape from core samples very quickly; especially under normal conditions. They'd need to get an accurate read during core drilling or be able to identify specific a non-magnetic gas with density of 0 underground which sounds pretty challenging - especially since it seems to have no special commercial interest for most of history. Is there a standard that you have to have a gas monitor attached to the drill hole? I don't remember anyone pointing one out to me or complaining that theirs was broken but stranger things have happened. Can hydrogen even be detected with magnets or surface chemistry analysis?

The way sound waves bounce around underground makes it quite challenging to pick things up. The geologists have put a lot of effort into this exact problem but prospecting for hydrogen sounds damn difficult and I'd be surprised if we had global coverage for it.
Actually, learning ruby is great way to see the light and stop trying to be creative when writing code.

You end up feeling and steered to the the right idiomatic way of doing things is the satisfying way.
Hi Sam! I usually just upvote comments on posts like these, but I wanted to tell you that things will get better. You'll have many more moments in the future that will warm your heart on the tougher days.
This is one thing to let your accountant choose imo. Only thing I outsourced right away (bookkeeping and taxes). I asked questions and learned what they were doing over time but it gets in the way of running the business to focus on that imo.

Both Brave & Opera have built in adblockers that are not dependent on Manifest to run. I haven't played with Opera too much, but Brave lets you add custom lists and works quite well. Combine that with a DNS based adblocker such as HaGeZi [1] or OISD from free DNS providers like ControlD or NextDNS and you'll be golden.

Thousands of people are today learning about these metrics thanks to your funny project. And from that, someone else will also make something cool and useful.
> stochastic model results predict a wide range of values for the potential in-place hydrogen resource [10^3 to 10^10 million metric tons (Mt)] with the most probable value of ~5.6 × 10^6 Mt.

As a former physicist, I find it hard to take anyone who dares to give two significant figures on such a terrible estimate seriously. At the very least tells me they don’t know shit about statistics. And whoever is clueless enough to repeat the figure in such a misleading title should be banned from scientific publishing.

He didn't need to do that - there's some really great videos full of ancient alien nonsense!

[EDIT - I actually like the ancient alien nonsense. It's no less credible than the various spirituality, religious, mystic or occult beliefs held by 90% of the planet. If you're judging someone's intelligence on whether they like to watch ancient alien theories/spiritual/religious/mystical/occult shows, then you're so disconnected from humanity that your opinion probably doesn't matter to anyone, anyway.]

I mean Truffle Ruby is as fast as V8 already and MRI yJIT and jRuby are catching up fast.

It could also be argued that JVM is the gold standard JIT.

Yeah, it completely ruins the ability to switch to another tab: instead of the tab-switching screen having 6 tab previews, there are now 6 tab group previews with a single tab in each, and those previews are tiny, they are a quarter of the tab preview size. And closing a tab group is, again, more difficult than closing a tab because it has a ... instead of x at the top right corner.
Prosperous can be measured in different ways. For example, right now, I am "less prosperous" by an economic measurement, but much more prosperous in terms of free time. And I'm much happier being "less prosperous" by the economic definition.
I wasn’t aware of this, was still a teenager at that time. May be because of this I was never impressed with later years…
When I started doing math seriously, I also feel strongly in love with "existence proof", where you were asked to prove that "something" existed, and any logical reasoning was considered fair game, even if you never found the "something".

Then, I started doing applied maths, where proving the existence of a solution is a nice bonus, but finding an approximate solution is the goal.

Here, we have an example of a funny proof of existence that does not tell you where to drill.

Some carbon was emitted during the publishing of this model - that will be so much more carbon to offset if we ever end up actually finding some real hydrogen.

Well relatively, I meant. For example, consider bananas. You can produce quite a lot of good bananas from one banana tree with relatively little work, but to produce a chocolate bar need an energy and water-intensive process and quite a lot of cacau pods.
No. Light gun games rely on the fact that a CRT display will draw the picture on the screen pretty much at the same time it's generated by the console's video chip. Modern digital displays introduce all kinds of delays due to processing and buffering they do. Usually several frames worth. This shader can't do anything to fix that.

Yeah EV is the bee's knees. No sudden surprise from some automatic transmission computer deciding to suddenly jolt you for no reason.

And as you say, "engine braking" with an EV is just "press the brake. It'll regen when possible".

In terms of driving comfort, my preference is EV, then manual, then automatic. But I would feel differently if I spent much time in bumper to bumper traffic. That's the one time manual is a bit annoying.

But those that would disagree with me are of course not wrong. To each their own.

Why do you say manual transmission is stressful on steep hills? Oh, you mean like starting from a stopped position going uphill? Yeah, it was a bit tricky to learn, but it's been (no pun intended) automatic for me for decades.

"Drinking Molotov Cocktails with Gandhi" by Mark Boyle. It widened my perspective on the systemic violence of our society. Few books really change my perspective, but this one did.
On aggregate, in a ridiculously-competitive market like commodity used cars that is generally free of collusion, salesmen do not get to determine sale prices.

That's simply not a thing when the other guy down the block will sell a similar car for $300 less and have his money today.

Any salesman can ask for whatever price they wish to ask for, and if it doesn't sell then there is simply no sale. (The annals of Ebay, to name one dataset that can be poked at, is rife with asking prices for things that simply did not sell.)

(This is one of the very few things that the "invisible hand of the free market" actually assures us of: Sure! A salesperson can ask $16000 for a car that is worth $6000. But if they sit on that car for years and years hoping for a bite that never comes, then maybe they can eventually sell it for $3000 -- losing money the entire time, for ever step of the process.

And while that's an example of how sales can happen, it is not an example of how sales both work and make money.

Used car salesmen do not butter their bread by losing money on sales. That's not a thing at all.)

> The MCTS search is itself a chain-of-thought.

I'm not quite sure it's a fair characterization.

Either way...

MCTS evaluates current position using predictions of future positions.

To understand value of ladders the algorithm would need iteratively analyse just the current layout of the pieces on the board.

Apparently the value of ladders is hard to infer from probabilisticrvsample of predictions of the future.

Ladders were accidental human discovery just because our attention is drawn to patterns. It just happens to be that they are valuable and can be mechanistically analyzed and evaluated. AI so far struggles with 1 shot outputting solutions that would require running small iterative program to calculate.
Please tell me you are doing this all by yourself, OP.

In the drill core, even after gas escapes, there'd be specific types of capping material that can trap hydrogen under pressure, below that there'd be a reduced density of more porous material.

Hydrogen prospectors looking backwards at drill core logs would be looking for signature transitions and retesting fields, looking again at the seismic results to find ROI's in historic results.

Unless you believe that Apple only buys “magic” components like the 8GB=16GB crowd there is nothing particularly special about their storage or memory.

Their SSDs even aren’t that fast. You can get faster ones for $200 (EXCEPT they are 2TB instead of 256GB)

This is possible by semi-automatic detection of anomalies over time for some preset of fields used for grouping the events (aka dimensions) and another preset of fields used in stats calculations (aka metrics). In general case this is hard to resolve taks, since it is impossible to check for anomalies across all the possible combinations of dimensions and metrics for wide events with hundreds of fields.

This is also complicated by the possibility to apply various filters for the events before and after ststs' calculations.

No free/unbound hydrogen from the surface is going to escape directly that way. It will bind with oxygen or the like long beforehand and become water.

But yes, a small portion of those molecules may later be broken down and may escape the planet that way. But statistically, very few of them are likely to do so.

So, maybe technically correct?
I had seen advertisments in greek from the Greek importers of the brand. I had asked my mother for it and she delivered.

Since you asked for the greek market I can share one more memory. About a year later, 1982, I wanted to upgrade to Texas Instruments TI-99/4A so I tried to see a machine up close going to the local representative. I ended up at the "company's HQ" which was a small residence appartment in the fifth floor of a building.

I found the door open so I entered a room full with boxes thrown around randomely. After waiting alone for an awkward period of 5-10 minutes, the owner of the company himself emerges from the bathroom with a wet face and kind of surprised to see me. He listened to what I wanted. "It's somewhere there, go and have a look" it's all what he said. He couldn't care less.

13 years later I had my own small company and reselling PC and equimpent was part of the job. The man with the wet face was one of the biggest suppliers in Greece, since besides Texas Instruments he moved on to be the representative of Intel and Microsoft and reseller of many others and the company became on of the biggest in Greece.

Maybe his mentality ("there it is, go and have a look") never changed much though, because a couple decades later the company went bankrupt.
